Does anyone even take certificates to an interview anymore?

Dh is going for a promotion and has just dug out his Record of Achievement folder! I personally think it's a bit naff 🙈. I've used a smart plastic folder with current certificates and training, which are additional to things required which highlights my experience but definitely wouldn't be taking a retro folder in with certificates from 16!

This is the first year that digital GCSE results/certificates were made available to some students in some schools (it was an opt-in trial).
It's always nice when the last year's students come in in the next few months to collect their paper certificates once they've been issued.

I have never taken them unless they specifically asked for them. I actually don’t even have half of them.

You take a photo of your certs and keep them as PDF documents… they don’t mean that you need to receive a digital one but that you should have converted and stored them digitally.

No idea where my O level, A level, BSc, MSc or PhD certificates are. And never once been asked for them.

You have to bring certificates and passport to NHS interviews too and they take photocopies.

Ex teacher and the most I was ever asked for was a transcript of my grades following an offer to take up a place on PGCE course and the Maths and English teaching specific exams. Never needed to produce anything else for teaching and nothing following a career change.

Ah, I see! ☺️
No one has ever asked to see mine. All the jobs I’ve had since graduating 35 years ago required education to at least A level/degree standard, but not a single employer has actually checked.

My first job after university checked and then same nobody has cared.
